REVIEWS

"This recording, featuring the loveliest violin playing I've heard in some time, exists as the result of a fortuitous discovery in a Paris used-music store... The playing of... Janet Packer is wonderful... Packer has just the right amount of expressiveness and never overwhelms the often intricate piano accompaniment. A splendid release!"

The Romance is a moony ‘song without words,’ delectable in an undulating sense but warmed by salon sensibility; beautifully rounded and most touchingly played by both artists… Ms. Packer manages the high fade-out of Cavatine’s conclusion with wonderful sensitivity.”

"Janet Packer found her first piece of Widor violin music at an out-of-print music store on the Left Bank. I’m glad that the music made its way to such a fine violinist, and I’m glad she recorded it with such a fine pianist."
